DVD Review: Scrubs Season Eight

When NBC announced that they would not be renewing Scrubs for another season, most of us thought that would be it for the show. To our surprise, ABC was kind enough to pick up the comedy and allow it to continue its quirky storytelling…but with a few budget cut backs. While we did lose a few of the secondary characters, the show was joined by a new set of interns that fit in very well with the original cast…. The show came back and was the best that it had been in years. Now you can catch up on the most recent antics since the Complete Eighth season of Scrubs is now available on DVD!

DVD Review: Transformers – The Complete Series


"Me Grimlock say you full of cesium salami."

I grew up on Transformers and I have such fond memories of watching the show every morning before going to school. I just loved the idea of transforming robots (a reason that I also eventually loved the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Series as well.) Listening to Peter Cullen's deep voice coming out of Optimus Prime is one of those things that you just can't forget. Optimus was the total personification of good, while Megatron was all that was evil in the universe…it was as simple as that.

DVD Review: Watchmen Director’s Cut 2-Disc Set

Watchmen: Director's Cut is now available on DVD!

Watchmen is a off the beaten path tale about a group of former costume crusaders who have split up after many years of serving together as comrades in arms and are now having to face each other again due to someone or something killing off one of their former members. It plays out much like a detective noir tale with superhero trappings along the edges. It is important for the viewer to understand going into the film that this is not your typical superhero film as Watchmen is something completely different. This is an extremely graphic story and they don't pull any punches (or hold back on the blue genitailia).

DVD Review: Super Capers

The Superhero genre parody Super Capers is now available on DVD.

After wannabe superhero Ed Gruberman (Lois and Clark's Justin Whalin) attempts to save a damsel in distress, he is sued by the mugger (played by Clint Howard). The judge decides to side with Gruberman but insists that he be trained by the Super Capers program for lacking superheroes.

He is driven to the Super Capers program by the infamous "Man-Bat" (played by Batman's Adam West) who now runs a taxi service using the Man-Batmobile. Once at the compound, Gruberman meets the rest of the team which includes: Sarge (Tommy Listner), Will Powers (Chuck's Ryan McPartlin), Felicia Freeze (Danielle Harris), and Puffer Boy (Ray Griggs). Can these struggling superheroes get it together in time to save the world?
